Quick Question: Are the Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy going to expire . . .

[HughBeaumont]

. . . or are the wealthy that run this country going to find a way to keep yet another damaging piece of the Bush II status quo firmly in place, further wasting this country's prospects for improvement?

I sound like a broken record at this point . . . but after the destruction of the Public Option/Medicare buy-in, my optimism is seriously deteriorating.

Are we EVER going to get ONE INCH?

Just one goddamned INCH?

PLEASE?

6. Don't forget the excise tax on good health plans

The House version of the bill taxes the wealthy and the Senate version has an excise tax that will affect the middle class. Gee, which one do you think we're going to get? :grr:

7. Because ain't no WAY Big Insurance is going to pick up THAT tab!

And God Forbid the wealthy have their pampered pillow lives inconvenienced even ONE teensy bit.

Remind me who has the majority again? Oh that's right, the MONEY Party does.

8. "Screw You"

you are looking at the vanity plate that Morgan Stanley Vice Chairman and TARP beneficiary Rob Kindler made for himself after the financial crash......obvious scoffing at populist outrage by actually driving around Connecticut with this message — essentially a ‘Screw You’ to the American public.

9. JOBS! Democrats won't let the taxes rise for JOBS! Tax unions health care, yes... JOBS!

Jobs! We don't want to lose the JOBS those tax cuts brought, and more than ever we need more JOBS!

...and don't forget the children or the uninsured!

Why would you punish the productive people?

We CAN'T let those taxes go back up!

JOBS!

10. clinton was able to get the rich to pay marginally more

i don't see why obama would do anything to override the default course of expiration of the cuts. if he had any interest in that he would have campaigned on it.

and the people who fight it won't be the top 10%, it will be the top 1%, MAYbe the top 5%. most of the top 10% are far more like the other 90% than the top 1%.
